Panduratin A Induces Autophagy Through AMPK Activation Independent of mTOR Inhibition and Restricts Mycobacterium tuberculosis in Host Macrophages

Molecular Microbiology, EarlyView.
Panduratin A, a flavonoid from Boesenbergia rotunda, was identified as a potential autophagy inducer in macrophages, where it appeared to activate AMPK independently of mTOR. This activity enhanced colocalization of Mycobacterium tuberculosis with autophagosomes and lysosomes, leading to reduced intracellular bacterial survival.
